Alan Berliner takes on his reclusive father as the reluctant subject of this poignant and graceful study of family history and memory.
What emerges is a uniquely cinematic biography that finds both humour and pathos in the swirl of conflicts and affections that bind father and son. Ultimately this complex portrait is a meeting of the minds – where the past meets the present, where generations collide, and where the boundaries of family life are pushed, pulled, stretched, torn and surprisingly at times, also healed.
